Nnadozie claimed they don’t care about the quality of their opponent.
“To be honest, we don’t care about who we play, we respect all the players. They are a good team, but the only focus is on my team,” she added.
“Football is a game of luck, it doesn’t matter who is playing. But even if they bring all of their best players, we don’t care. That’s on them, not on us.”
Support From Fans
Nnadozie also thanked the Nigerians fans for their unwavering support.
“I want to say a big thank you to all the Nigerian fans. They’ve been so amazing, they’ve been supportive. They’ve been with us from day one. They came all the way to Morocco, they supported us, they gave everything to us,” Nnadozie stated.
“The only way we can pay them back is to keep winning. Of course they’ve been very calm, positive, motivating us to get the result since this game was announced. We can’t do this without them so keep supporting us, keep praying for us, and we will do what we know how to do best to make them happy.”
